THEY\u2019RE READY FOR PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO ARRIVE. NOW THE EVENT IS HAPPENING HERE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL BEHIND ME. THIS IS THE VILLAGES HIGH SCHOOL, A CHARTER SCHOOL. THE SIGN SAYS, WELCOME, PRESIDENT TRUMP THERE. THE DIGITAL SIGN. AND THERE IS A HOLDING AREA JUST A LITTLE BIT PAST THIS CAMPUS WHERE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY LINING UP HERE ON THE CAMPUS IN MIDDLETON. THIS IS A COMMUNITY INSIDE THE VILLAGES. EVERYTHING GETS GOING AT NOON WHEN PEOPLE CAN START GOING INSIDE. IT IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. BUT YOU HAD TO MAKE AN RSVP ON THE GOP WEBSITE AND GET A QR CODE EVEN TO GET INTO THAT. THAT AREA, THE SECURE HOLDING AREA, BEFORE EVERYTHING GETS STARTED. NOW, THE PRESIDENT\u2019S DAY BEGINS VERY EARLY THIS MORNING. HE\u2019S GOING TO RECEIVE AN INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING IN D.C. AROUND 10 A.M. IT\u2019S ABOUT A TWO HOUR FLIGHT HERE. SO THE PRESIDENT WILL LIKELY GET INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA SOMETIME THIS AFTERNOON. THE DOORS AGAIN OPEN HERE AT THE SCHOOL AT NOON. AND YOU DO HAVE TO RSVP FOR THE EVENT. THIS IS LIKELY SOMETHING THAT\u2019S ALREADY PACKED OUT AND IT\u2019S FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. SO EVEN IF YOU GOT AN RSVP AND A QR CODE, IT DOESN\u2019T MEAN YOU\u2019RE GOING TO GET IN. THERE IS SECURITY HERE, AND WE WANT TO LET YOU KNOW IT\u2019S TSA STYLE. IT IS A CHECKPOINT THAT YOU\u2019LL PASS THROUGH WITH SECURITY, AND THERE ARE NO BAGS ALLOWED. THE SPEAK THE BIG MOMENT WHEN THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS, THAT SPEECH IS SET FOR ABOUT 3:00 THIS AFTERNOON HERE AT THE SCHOOL. AND THIS IS AN AREA THAT IS WELL KNOWN FOR BEING A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY. THE VILLAGES, IT STRETCHES THROUGH CENTRAL FLORIDA COUNTIES, BUT WE\u2019RE HEARING FROM SOME HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, THEY SAY THEY\u2019RE EXCITED TO SEE THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF AT THEIR CAMPUS. IT\u2019S BEEN PRETTY COOL. YOU KNOW, NOT EVERYONE GETS TO EXPERIENCE HAVING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA COME TO YOUR SCHOOL. AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO\u2019VE PREPARED FOR THE EVENT INCLUDE MEMBERS OF THE OPPOSITE PARTY, THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB OF THE VILLAGES. AND THEY\u2019RE PLANNING A PROTEST THAT WILL BE JUST UP THE ROAD. WANTED TO LET THE REPUBLICANS HAVE THEIR SPACE, HAVE THEIR PARTY BE THERE, AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO MOVE OURSELVES TO A LITTLE FURTHER DISTANCE WHERE WE CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SAFE AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY HECKLING OR OR CONFRONTATIONS. AND WE ARE EXPECTING THE PRESIDENT TO TOUCH ON A NUMBER OF TOPICS. WE DO EXPECT HIM TO TALK ABOUT HIS ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL AND THE IMPACT THAT THAT WILL HAVE ON SENIORS. BUT UCF POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR WHO SPOKE TO US SAID LIKELY A BIG DISCUSSION HERE WILL BE A HEADLINE IN FLORIDA THIS WEEK. AND THAT\u2019S REDRAWING OF THOSE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. THAT MAP THAT WENT BEFORE GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS. SOME POLLS HAVE SHOWN THE MAJORITY OF FLORIDIANS ARE NOT SO KEEN ON THIS MIDTERM REDISTRICTING OF THE GERRYMANDERING AND SUCH. BUT IF YOU\u2019RE TRYING TO FIRE UP THE REPUBLICAN BASE, THAT\u2019S SORT OF A RED MEAT ISSUE. IF YOU PLAN TO COME OUT TO THE SCHOOL TODAY, YOU\u2019VE GONE AHEAD AND BEEN ABLE TO RSVP. YOU GOT YOUR QR CODE. WE NEED YOU TO KNOW WHAT YOU CAN NOT BRING INTO THE EVENT. TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR SCREEN. NO WEAPONS, EXPLOSIVES OR AMMUNITION. TOY GUNS ARE ALSO BANNED. GLASS, THERMAL AND METAL CONTAINERS ARE PROHIBITED AS WELL AS ANY AEROSOLS. NO LASER POINTERS AND NO DRONES. ANY ANIMAL OTHER THAN A SERVICE ANIMAL IS NOT ALLOWED, AND NO MOTORIZED SCOOTERS OR BIKES WILL BE ALLOWED HERE. BAGS, BALLOONS, COOLERS, SELFIE STICKS ALL NEED TO BE LEFT AT HOME. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BRING A SIGN, JUST MAKE SURE THAT IT IS NO LARGER THAN 20FT BY THREE FEET BY A QUARTER INCH. ALSO, MAKE SURE IT DOESN\u2019T NEED ANY SUPPORT STRUCTURE, OKAY? CENTRAL FLORIDA IS NOT THE ONLY STOP IN THE DAY AHEAD AFTER HE\u2019S DONE. HERE IN THE VILLAGES, WE KNOW HE\u2019S GOING TO GET ON AIR FORCE ONE AND THEN MAKE HIS WAY DOWN TO THE PALM BEACHES. HE\u2019LL BE IN WEST PALM BEACH SPEAKING AT A DINNER THERE FOR THE FORUM CLUB. STEVEN GRAVES FROM OUR SISTER STATION IN WEST PALM BEACH, HAS A LOOK AHEAD OF THAT EVENT. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP EXPECTED TO SPEAK RIGHT HERE IN DOWNTOWN WEST PALM BEACH THIS EVENING. SECURITY TOP OF MIND, JUST AS IT IS IN THE VILLAGES. BARRICADES GOING UP IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS, RIGHT SIDE, RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE CENTER WHERE THE PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED TO SPEAK. IN FACT, THERE WAS A SECURITY INCIDENT IN THIS AREA JUST YESTERDAY. A U-HAUL TRUCK PARKED NEAR RIGHT HERE SHUT DOWN THE AREA FOR HOURS. A BOMB SQUAD CALLED IN AFTER A DOG ALERTED THEM TO THE TRUCK. TURNED OUT TO BE A FALSE ALARM THOUGH. THE SCENE WAS CLEARED, BUT IT DOES SHOW HOW TOP OF MIND SECURITY IS RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY AFTER SATURDAY\u2019S INCIDENT AT THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER IN WASHINGTON, D.C. SO AGAIN, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP EXPECTED TO SPEAK AROUND 615 HERE TO A NONPARTISAN PUBLIC AFFAIRS GROUP THAT STARTS AROUND 615. STEVEN GRAVES, WESH TWO NEWS. SECURITY WILL BE TOP OF MIND HERE, AND IT\u2019S A VERY BUSY DAY FOR THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF HERE IN THE SUNSHINE STATE.
